patterns and existing shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom there, the barber identifies the shape required, selects the techniques needed to create it and applies the correct mechanics to execute the result with purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis approach helps barbers move away from guesswork and towards a more consistent, adaptable method of
